The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a claim that an employee's fall was a work accident. The employee was removed from duty due to suspected intoxication and subsequently hid on the premises before suffering a severe fall. The court ruled that because the employee was no longer under the employer's control, the incident occurred outside the scope of work duties.
